beautiful bikes.
oh, and we need pics
I just did a 100 mile trip on limestone in 5:57 hours on this Stevens, This bike is terrific going up long hills. It is possible to do 8 mile hills at 15 MPH. Also important is going down hill at speeds of 20 to 22 MPH. The bike handles stable in the bumps, branches and slippery spots.
I used to do the same trip with a converted Trek Hybrid. Full suspension bike with 35# vs the Stevens with 20#. That means energy savings over such a long trip.
I had a cup of oatmeal plus cup of berries plus cup of milk for BF. While biking 1,000 calories of GU Gel. That is it for this 100 mile trip.
Can not do that with the Hybrid bike.
I wish I bought such a bike years ago.
